Whether you like her new material or not, there is no denying that gurl knows how to put on an effing SHOW!

Check out these clips of Beyoncé taking the stage at Palais Nikala in Nice, France - the first of three shows before she headlines Glastonbury on Sunday - and performing her new songs, End of Time and 1+1 (above)!

Just gorgeous!

If this is her just getting started, then we can't wait to see what she has in store for her audience this weekend!

People are making WAY too big a deal out of her new songs. It's like some folks are PRAYING for her to fail. I'm not seeing what's so bad about her new material. It's fresh and totally different from anything out on the radio. Let's be honest…are the songs Born This Way and Edge of Glory by Gaga all that? Not even! But people are fully backing Gaga's album like it's the second coming. It's laughable lol And its really sad that someone like Beyonce is placed in this box creativly that when they deem to step outside of it, the work isn't appreciated. I for one LOVE Run The world and 1+1 and can't wait for the album to come out to see what other gems Queen B has in stored for us.

Re: sevgi – haha her and brit are totally diff, and she isnt giving brit a run for her, all brits shows so far have been sold out . Beyonce can out perform anyone(gaga kesha rihanna and katy) so no need to bring only brits name out "hater"

i completely agree with qwen1981. during beyonce's break i explored listening to other music (non-mainstream) and found much more interesting and unpredictable. now that beyonce is back with this kind of material, honestly, i think it wont have good perception initially because people are so trapped around mainstream music like gaga and bruno mars and all those radio hits. but once people open their ears and allow themselves to sink in the music, they'll realize it's art. her new music is very fresh, new, and artful.

Re: qwen1981 – Gaga's new album IS good….I don't think anyone is treating it like the "second coming" though…It is original and innovative- just like her…Fans are objective, but hey Bloody Mary, Heavy Metal Lover and Shiebe are very very good and have an edge…Her singles that she has released so far are the safer choices….you either get Gaga or you don't….That is cool….Beyonce has good energy on stage- I give her that….Not a huge fan, but wish her the best.Re: Henwii – The majority of Britney fans are the people that grew up with her and desperately want to see the old spark that they remember…sadly, the lack of talent has got up with Britney…If you like a high school talent show type of performance, then Britney fits that bill….no substance…no edge.

I am not a big big big fan of her but I do enjoy some of her past and new songs when I run. I went to her show in DC and I must say that Beyonce sings live and she can dance, overall her show was superb.

Re: sanfran1 – Lack of talent?
Please go look at some of her earliest performances. Maybe she sucks now, but the girl was a performer, & at one point the best. She even shared the stage with MJ. She was given the title she has for a reason. After 06, she just lost everything. Even the passion. Which makes it sad. But you can't say she ever "lacked talent". That's not legit. I love B. I love Gaga & i love Britney. Everyone is so obsessed with the comparisons. Just sit down and enjoy the music. Life is not that serious.

Awesome!!! I don't what people have heard in the album but I think it is brilliant. Her best work…she has intricately combined genres and she shows off her voice. People just expect too much of her…she's human you know. Even when her worst is way better than most if not all.

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
